The rain washed the streets of Liyue, moistening the stone pavement like an uneven mirror, reflecting faint light.

Due to the weather, there were not many people in Liyue Harbor. Even if there were some, they were just walking with their heads down and holding umbrellas. They would not have noticed that they had just passed by Tianquan Star.

This way, Ningguang doesn't have to worry about being surrounded by the crowd.

Due to the noble status of the Seven Stars, most of them have always acted in secret, but Ningguang is different. Instead of hiding in the dark, she doesn't mind putting herself in the spotlight.

Ningguang explained to Lai Yin: "Today's weather is really bad, and there are fewer pedestrians. If it were usual, this main street would be bustling with people."

Rhine nodded to show that he heard it.

He seemed a little dull.

But Rhine was busy with important things.

A black cube the size of a raindrop solidified on the surface of his umbrella, and then was mixed with the rain and the water flow, escaped from the umbrella, fell to the ground, and disappeared under the stone slabs, like a bug trapped by the rain, slipping away aimlessly.

The cube didn't go far before it found a hidden place, turned into a crow with empty eyes, and stumbled away into the distance.

Inside the Baiju Inn, Rosalind leaned on the windowsill, her cold eyes surveying the numerous umbrellas swaying on the street.

She felt the dampness in the wind and thought to herself, "Was my attitude towards Lai Rhine too bad before?"

Although he did make a joke about himself, it was only to explain that he didn't mess around in Liyue.

As for her attitude towards him... Rosalin knew that she had looked very ferocious when she looked at Rhine.

She wasn't that angry about Rhine's "confession", but Rhine actually asked her to stop interfering in other people's business!

Rosaline just wanted to confirm whether her colleagues had been deceived by those sinister Liyue women. How could that be considered meddling in other people's business?

Although Rosalin is aloof, she is also thoughtful and thinks about many things. For example, she would bribe the children of the Hearth House with gifts and make them love her on the surface in order to find a moment of warmth in those falsehoods.

Anyway, the "fathers" of those children didn't object to her doing so.

While thinking, she looked towards the rose that was broken into two pieces on the coffee table in the living room.

That was the gift Rhine gave her in the morning, but she was angry at the time, and she subconsciously used force with the hand holding the rose, breaking the fragile flower into two pieces.

In the drizzle, a crow flapped its somewhat stiff wings and flew towards Rosalyn's windowsill in a slightly strange manner.

"Tsk!" Rosalin looked at such a strange bird and felt a little angry.

The whole body in black reminded her of the "heretic" who wore a black robe when not wearing a cloak.

"I told you not to make fun of me!"

The ice spikes streaked through the air and shot towards the dull crow. The moment they came into contact with the crow, they pierced through the body of the poor bird.

But the strange thing was that after the crow was pierced, it did not have any wounds on its body. It continued to flap its rain-soaked wings and pounced towards Rosaline's windowsill like a drunkard.

"Huh?" Rosalin also noticed something was wrong and let the crow land on the windowsill.

It was said to have fallen, but in fact, the crow fell on the window sill. Rosalin then realized that the crow had no claws at all.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, the crow began to twitch all over.

It twisted its limbs in a way that went against biological common sense, and it seemed like it would mutate in the next moment, but it eventually broke apart into black cubes that circled in front of Rosalyn, eventually gathering together, gradually turning white and turning into a piece of paper.

Rosalin picked up the paper and looked at the words on it: "Dear Miss Rosalin, I haven't seen you for a while. Did you miss me... Rhine?"

This is obviously a letter from Rhine. Not to mention the iconic black cube, the long paragraph of nonsense that appears before getting down to business is very consistent with his habits.

Seeing that he was still not in tune and didn't seem to take the unpleasantness of the morning to heart, Rosalin felt a little relieved.

After automatically ignoring two paragraphs praising her as "the beautiful and intelligent Miss Rosalin", Rosalin finally saw the serious content.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I have been lurking beside Ningguang and have initially gained her trust. In view of the fact that Tartaglia's whereabouts have been discovered, I decided to personally intervene in the plan to seize the Heart of God.

Of course, I still trust you, dear Rosalyn.

However, I hope you can inform me of Tartaglia's real-time movements using this piece of letter paper.

And I will also take advantage of this opportunity to lurk, monitor Ningguang's movements, provide you with assistance, and ensure the smooth implementation of the Queen's plan.

During this period, you can try to assassinate Tianquanxing Ningguang without leaving any evidence, but only her. This will also be helpful to my actions.

Everything for the Queen!

Also, if you are still angry, I will apologize to you when I come back, anything is fine~"

Rosalin raised her eyebrows while reading the letter. She didn't expect that Rhine hadn't forgotten about the undercover mission. According to his usual style, he should have forgotten about the business long ago and might be hiding somewhere to enjoy the rain.

But besides being surprised, Rosalin was also a little confused. How could she contact Rhine with just this piece of letter paper?

While she was thinking, the letter paper scattered again and turned into tiny black cubes. They gathered together and turned into a crow without claws again.

The crow's eyes were still lifeless, like a dead object.

"It's really hard for you to work so hard to complete the task." Rosalin stared at the crow and said something that was unclear whether it was a compliment or a mockery.

"As for the apology..." Rosalin thought of the last sentence in the letter again, smiled and shook her head: "Humph~ I forgive you this time."

……

It was not until she led Rhine to Yujing Terrace, climbed the hexagonal pavilion, and flew to the Qun Yu Pavilion that Ningguang finally stopped chatting and got down to business.

"Mr. Bai, this is my residence. It is absolutely safe and confidential. You can tell me anything."

"Okay." Rhine nodded, retracted the gaze he shared with Crow, and cut off the image of Rosalind's arrogant face in his mind.

"What does Miss Ningguang want me to help you with?

I will not complete any task that is too difficult."

Ningguang sat on the desk, staring at Rhine with her ruby ​​eyes: "Considering that the Fatui are becoming more and more unscrupulous, I hope to have someone I can trust by my side to help me deal with the crisis around me."

After this attack, Ningguang didn't believe that the Fatui would remain silent. They would most likely find ways to attack her.

Although her Qun Yu Ge is powerful, it is a strategic weapon and is not suitable for dealing with individual attacks.

Even though it was difficult for outsiders to enter the Jade Pavilion, it was impossible for Ningguang to stay in the Jade Pavilion forever.

"Sure. Although I'm stupid, I have made some achievements in alchemy. If it's just fighting, it shouldn't be a difficult task." Rhine agreed readily, not even afraid of being suspected by Ningguang.

After all, he had already informed Rosalind, and after that, he would launch a plan to assassinate Tianquan Star.

With him around, those assassinations would naturally not succeed, but he could use this to make Ningguang trust him completely.

Even if she still had some doubts at first, after Lai Rhine had averted the crisis time and time again, he didn't believe that Ningguang would remain indifferent forever.
